There were various stories a few years ago about areas of Peru dredging out old Incan irrigation systems as a low-cost solution to the water problems one tends to encounter when living above the clouds. And when I say "old" let's remember we're talking Norman Conquest / Walls of Constantinople / Rise of the Daimyo era. I just have to wonder about the local politicians whose best solution to providing for their people involved going back a millennium to, if not the stone age, probably the bronze age.
Were they lauded as saviors? Or on the next election did everyone just write in "Atahualpa" on their ballots?
